Apparently Pat is his Uncle according to eliteprospects and Pat is also the AGM of the Red Wings.

Hayden, like Pat, looked like a bit of a ####-disturber in the Laval games I watched this year.

Merrill is a good add for Montreal.

With all the adds the Habs are making they will sure be disappointed when the Flames take all the remaining games against them and the Habs end up missing the playoffs!

Is he currently in the minors? A good get there, since he won't still count against the taxi squad or roster. The team can still look at more acquisitions till tomorrow.
Mete probably got waived for the same reason as well. More flexibility.
